Not to my knowledge.... Age, Genetics, how long you were overweight, how much you lose and luck play a role in whether or not you will sag or not. I was diligent with creams and moisturizers but it really didn't matter in my opinion.

If you look at my profile pics...you will see I do not have all the loose skin many talk about....not sure of the exact reason but some of the things I do claim to help with skin/body tone....

Aerobic EXERCISE...5 days a week (including running).....ALWAYS get my daily required Water and PROTEIN....and 30 minutes in a SAUNA or STEAM ROOM 5 days a week followed by an ice plunge.....(like the swedes jumping in snow)

Not saying that is the answer...but something worked...and still is working for me....

I have not lost any weight in over a year...and yet I continue to drop in clothing sizes....go figure....
